O Jalsa!
O Jalsa Salana!
A gathering of the righteous,
Faithfuls travel far and wide,
Across land and through the skies,
With the spirit of love.
They gather together,
United as one,
Under the shade of their Khalifa,
The beloved Imam of the faithful.
In Allah’s presence, they find solace;
Hearts filled with joy and love.
In black or white, they stand united in faith,
With longings fulfilled.
Praying together, in unity, behind one Imam,
A congregation of nations united behind one true Imam,
Extending hands in brotherhood and joy,
Thriving in peace and love.
All gather together in faith and love,
A celebration of love and unity,
A blessing to all.
Jalsa Mubarak, a time of peace,
May Allah’s blessings be upon you.
